Burley St Matthias Primary School

There are 5 key indicators that we should expect to see improvement across:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school;
• the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement;
• increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport;
• broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils;
• increased participation in competitive sport.

Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. This funding must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE offered.

We use the premium to:

• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that we already offer;
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years,
• development competitive sporting opportunities.

You can read more about how we used last year's funding and how we plan to use our funding for this academic year in the strategy document below.

In previous years we have used the sports premium funding to:

• Enhance PE and sports teaching
• Train staff to teach swimming
• Install a MUGA (multi-use games area)
• Purchase a new PE curriculum
• Access training for staff on positive playtimes
• Increase physical activity through forest schools activities
• Offer sports clubs beyond the school day
